“We are excited to work with Ayla to provide companies with the resources needed to succeed when developing connected products,” said Antony Passemard, Head of Product Management for Google Cloud IoT. “Combined with the power of GCP, Ayla’s technology will enable more companies to tap directly into Google Cloud’s renowned application enablement, AI, machine learning and data analytics capabilities to deliver the outcomes that meet their business needs.”

Through the combined strengths of GCP and Ayla technologies, their clients will be able to achieve fast time-to-market by taking advantage of Ayla’s broad connectivity options and user-friendly device virtualization and management features. Users can also scale connected device deployments securely and benefit from Ayla’s flexible data pipeline along with GCP’s powerful application enablement options, both native and partner-based.

“Success in IoT starts with the ability to virtualize any physical device and rapidly connect it with other digital services and virtualized devices,” said David Friedman, CEO of Ayla Networks. “Then, the real value of IoT happens when the data from interconnected devices can be ingested into applications and services able to transform the data in ways that support better decisions and drive business outcomes.”

The Ayla IoT platform running on GCP is expected to be generally available in Q4 2018.
